Rejected Eighteen Times：The Silver-Born Luna's Withdrawn Blessing
After eighteen ruined mating ceremonies, Silver-Born Selene stops begging Alpha Kaelen, her parents, and the pack to choose her over Ivy. Cast out, chained, and silver-whipped, she withdraws the Moon Goddess’s blessing. Hunting grounds vanish, healers fail, wounds return, and the pack collapses. When Kaelen crawls back, Selene rejects him and leaves the Vane bloodline forever.
